Publisher's Summary

President-elect Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America's foremost deal-maker.

"I like thinking big. I always have. To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big." —Donald J. Trump

Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight.

"Fascinating . . . wholly absorbing . . . conveys Trump's larger-than-life demeanor so vibrantly that the reader's attention is instantly and fully claimed." —Boston Herald

"A chatty, generous, chutzpa-filled autobiography." —New York Post

Love the Man

I felt like I know the man more after reading this book. No wonder he is such a successful President, in spite of the evil forces fighting him every step of the way.

Surprisingly a very entertaining book

I wasn't sure what to expect. But turned out to be a great listen. Trump and Schwartz simply take you through the history of Trumps major real estate deals in a somewhat chronological order. Starting with his origins working with his dad building low-income housing in the bronx, all the way to Trump Tower. Politics aside (and they mostly are in this book) its a great story.

The narrator (Kaleo Griffith) did a great job making trumps words (which are written in the first person) come to life. As many know, Trump has a very unique way of talking and writing.. maybe its a new york thing? in any case the narration was good.

Gives Amazing foresight on TRUMP

Easy listen, fun, great stories on hard lessons and excellent reality checks on media and politics.

Does an amazing job of explaining the Trump Presidency, however you may view it.

Highly recommended for anyone trying to understand - what is TRUMP!

Not a trump supporter but...

I’m not a trump supporter but I did enjoy this book in relation to finances. It really goes over some of his biggest projects early on in his life. Not some much about how to be successful but you can learn a thing or too about putting together deals.

dissapointed

I was expecting well written instructions on how to make a deals instead the whole book is just a series of trump discussing his own accomplishments. One has to glean the lessons out oneself

No Wonder he is where he is...

Ok, love him or hate him, this book certainly gives you a perspective that is not on TV or a computer monitor. I am not necessarily a fan of politics but I can clearly understand how Donald Trump has become the President of The United States. This book is an easy follow, but pay attention, as there is a lot to take in. I have benefited in my business from reading this book. I will now listen to his Son's book "Triggered".

Great Book

Great book it really shows you how trump thinks and you really understand why he does what he does as president. If people want to understand him and why he acts and does the things he does just need to hear this book.
